Politics Free Places on the Internet
Firstly, I know a lot of people love their politics. Obviously, this post is not for you! But also, I know a lot of people have gotten really tired of it. In the US, at least, we’ve been embattled with political arguing and outrage for 8+ years, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop any time soon. So, for those of you who are like me and see politics as a useless king-of-the-hill game that people take way too seriously, this blog post is for you.
What I’m doing is looking for sites with interesting, positive, informational, solution-oriented non-political content. I’m not including news sites because those, of course, will discuss politics from whatever spin they agree with. I say that’s okay because we pretty much have a heads-up on which way they lean and can choose our news sources accordingly. I’m looking for sites that focus on other, constructive conversation that wants to build up rather than tear down. I’d be happy if anyone cares to make suggestions.
Here’s a few:
Permies.com “where we talk about permaculture and homesteading all the time.” They do an excellent job of keeping politics and other controversial issues off their main forums. That said, they do have a place for people to vent and discuss “hot button” topics, but it’s only open to members who have demonstrated that they know how to respect others’ opinions.
Goodness Exchange is a great site, focusing on positive, solution-oriented articles.
Ubuntu Forums used to be a great place for linux focused tech talk (and more) but they are in the process of migrating to another venue, which I don’t have any idea about.
All of my blogs. I have several and they are all dedicated to particular topics that have nothing to do with politics. Here’s the symbol of my pledge to continue to keep my blogs politics free . . .
I know there are other bloggers out there who feel the same. I won’t try to list them here, but please feel free to mention them in the comments. And feel free to mention other websites you enjoy that are politics free.
